Margot Robbie has once again set the internet ablaze. This time, it’s not for her acting chops or her production company’s latest blockbuster but for something far more personal—her baby bump! The 34-year-old Barbie star was spotted in Sardinia, Italy, on a sun-soaked babymoon with her husband, Tom Ackerley, and the internet did what it does best: it lost its collective mind.
Margot, ever the fashion icon, stepped out in a chic yet casual ensemble—a white unbuttoned shirt that offered the world a peek at her growing baby bump. And while most of us were busy swooning over how radiant she looked, the internet trolls were sharpening their claws.
Cue the pearl-clutchers: “How I loved being pregnant and wearing pretty, demure dresses. They made me feel special and content, back in the late 70s. The idea of exposing my baby bump would have been ludicrous. I’m so glad I lived in the days when we had decorum,” lamented one commenter who apparently time-traveled from a more “modest” era.
Another chimed in with, “Why oh why? Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, please don’t make it tacky. Have some self-respect and respect for your partner/husband.” Because clearly, nothing says “self-respect” like covering up and hiding away during one of the most transformative experiences of your life, right?
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more absurd, someone else had to add, “What is with this new trend of showing off a bare pregnant belly? I see regular women out and about doing it too, not just celebs. I just don’t get it. Put it away!” Ah yes, the age-old internet wisdom: if you don’t like it, it must be bad.
Despite the online grumbling, Margot and Tom looked every bit the picture-perfect couple as they soaked up the Italian sun. The duo is making the most of their final weeks as a twosome before welcoming their first child, and if their smiles are any indication, they couldn’t be happier.
The news of Margot’s pregnancy had been one of Hollywood’s worst-kept secrets. Multiple sources confirmed to People last month that the couple is indeed expecting, and the response from fans was overwhelmingly positive—minus a few sour grapes, of course. According to insiders, Margot and Tom are “relieved” that the news is out, having kept it under wraps for a while.
It’s no surprise that Margot and Tom, who have co-produced several projects through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment, are now gearing up for their most important collaboration yet—parenthood. After years of balancing high-profile careers with a happy marriage, they’re ready to take on their next big adventure together.
